EP3 - 2007

Lost in a Tube - 2006

The confused state of a nation mired in a divisive war stalemate in Iraq takes center stage in an album dominated by protest folk-rock with "Lost for a While," "W. Drilled Us" and "War President." Western- and country-flavored folk-rock are evident in "She's Gone," "Old Neil" (Young) and "Lonesome Mystery." Pure rock euphoria is delivered by "Tonight" and "Just Play."

Downhill Sunset - 2004

The Stragglyrs escape the present and head back to the early 1880s for a psychedelic country-rock musical horse opera about a mail-order bride from Charleston, S.C., who rides a train to join her farmer husband-to-be in New Mexico. Along the way, she meets a dark gambler who threatens to be the seemingly happy couple's undoing.

Valley of the Shadows - 2003

This progressive folk-rock album captures the dot-com era and the dot-bomb collapse with "Red Arrows Down," "Not the Real World," "RIF'ed Again," and "Out of the Loop." Reservations about the invasion of Iraq are voiced in "Bit of a Chill," and the haunting instrumental title cut, "Valley of the Shadows," is worth the price of admission alone.

American Trip: A Musical History - 2002

This folk-rock musical history of America kicks off with "Glade Runner," which tells the story of a day in the life of an Ohlone Indian in 1691. "Trip" continues into the 1960s with "Mango Surf Jam," "Camelot Lost," "Moon Landing" and the Grateful Dead-ish "Hippie Chick." The album laments violence with "Land of the .45," corruption, with the Woodie Guthrie-inspired "California Schemin' " and "One Nation" (under globalization). The tragedy of Sept. 11 is told in "Impossibly Blue" and "99 Names for God."
